Pluto Projector [HEEJAY + JAKE]

9

Jake was running around his dad's office. One moment he was hiding behind the curtain, the other he was hiding under Jay's desk while Taehyun, Jay's personal assistant had to keep up with the hyper boy.

-« Jake have you never thought about playing something less exhausting ? »

Taehyun swore that he better have a raise because he never signed to babysit his boss kid. He never really wanted to deal with kid on the upper hand so when Jay requested to look after his son when he had to go on an important meeting with Heeseung, Taehyun politely declined. He even tried to convince Jay that his other assistant Yunjin was better than him.

Unfortunately Jake seemed to only like him, when Yunjin entered the office and tried to speak to the little boy he began crying in Heeseung's arms. She wasn't even sad about the fact that a kid was terrified by her, she was even glad. She never liked kids either so babysit his boss one would be a pain rather than a pleasure. Especially if he was as arrogant as Jay.

At some point Jake stopped running, panting and sweating like he had run a marathon. According to the fact that running more than 20 times around a big desk could be considered as running a marathon when you're 3 years old. Taehyun couldn't contain his happiness when Jake sat down so he let a big sigh of relief, kids were definitely stressing him out. Even more than his own job.

They spend some times together by playing with blocks and dolls until someone interrupted them.

-« Mr.Park are you there ? »

Taehyun who was sitting on his knees went straight up to a formal standing position. He bowed and greeted a tall man with an old red suit but Jake didn't pay attention to him.

-« Mr.Park is currently discussing with his biggest shareholders, he should be back in a short matter of time. »

The unknown man nodded and went to leave the office, that's when Jake decided to look up to the intruder. Something in the way he was walking seemed oddly familiar but he shrugged the idea off his mind.

-« By the way Mr.Kang someone lost this Dingo doll right in front of the entrance. Do you perhaps know who's its owner ? »

Taehyun took the doll from the man and walked in front of Jake. He was having a weird feeling about the older man and leaving Jake alone in this kind of situation wasn't a great idea.

-« A Dingo ? Isn't this just a normal dog ? »

-« They're wild dogs in Australia but I think its owner knows that. At least he'll remember it by know, it's such a shame I would have almost ripped off his head if I have stepped on it. Thankfully it caught my eyes just before. »

-« If I found this ankle-biter on my way once again. I'll rip his fucking head off ! »

This voice. This accent. This tone. It couldn't be ... but maybe it could. Jake dared to look at this man, thankfully he couldn't see him or at least he pretended not to. Jake didn't have much memories from him and physically this man was far different from what he remembered but his body began to stiffen anyway.

Jake was now hiding under his dad's desk, his chest was heaving repeatedly at an increasing pace. His nails were dug into the carpet, it would leave marks for sure but Jake had no idea about it. He couldn't focus on anything but at the same time his mind and thoughts were frantic and racing like crazy. He couldn't hear the man leaving the room neither Taehyun calling his name while he was standing at less than 50 centimeters from him.

Everything went downhill when Jake became suddenly conscious about his troubled breathing, he starts to panic thinking that he might not be able to breathe at a normal pace and indeed it made things worse.
